Oooh, I feel your pain. [:@] No, really I do. Only it wasn't just the tip. A year ago, I took off 2" of my left index finger with a table saw and also got a good whack at the thumb. [SQUEEMISH WARNING] Nothing like riding 10 miles to the ER with your finger hanging by 1/8" of skin and sitting in the palm of your hand. That's why I don't mind making the occasional safety observation. Your life can change in an instant of carelessness.

Hope your recovery went well.
